Hey im trying to figure out how to like select a certain part of a url

for example:  http://omgGoogle.com/member/4333/

 

is their a way i can grab just the 4333 ?

 

thanks

That URL implements mod_rewrite, you may want to take a look at it.

 

Is this your page or someone else's?

[aceman]

that was just an example.

[Maq]

that was just an example.

 

I figured that out when you said "for example".

 

Why can't you use the $_GET method?

[premiso]

mod_rewrite would have to be used to determine this cause you would need a page to grab that data.

 

Assuming you get modrewrite to send the data to a processing page. On the processing page you can explode "/" from the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] in the script that would process the data. Then use the array data to figure out what you need.

i dont think i explained it right for what im trying to do... eh gime a moment please.

Ok lets say I had

 

$var1 = omg/123;

$var2 = omg/321;

 

echo($var1);

but only echo the /123 part.

 

or $id = $var1 // just the 123 part

 

 

Ideas? Hopefully thats a bit more understandable.

$var1 = "omg/123";
echo strstr($var1, "/");

 

This will (should) return the rest of $var1 after it finds the "/".

[Psycho]

$var1 = "omg/123";
echo strstr($var1, "/");

 

This will (should) return the rest of $var1 after it finds the "/".

That will return the text after the first instance of a string. The OP wants the text after the last occurance (or 2nd to last) of a string:

 

function lastPath($fullPath)
{
    $fullPath = (substr($fullPath, -1) == '/')?substr($fullPath, 0, -1):$fullPath;
    return substr(strrchr($fullPath, '/'), 1);
}

$text = "http://omgGoogle.com/member/4333/";

echo lastPath($text); // 4333
